It should be pointed out that every effort is made to ensure that the mirror sites are kept up to date, but the definitive current version of the journal is that maintained on its server.
The mirrors are:
The journal Theory and Applications of Categories will disseminate articles that significantly advance the study of categorical algebra or methods, or that make significant new contributions to mathematical science using categorical methods. The scope of the journal includes: all areas of pure category theory, including higher dimensional categories; applications of category theory to algebra, geometry and topology and other areas of mathematics; applications of category theory to computer science, physics and other mathematical sciences; contributions to scientific knowledge that make use of categorical methods.
Articles appearing in the journal have been carefully and critically refereed under the responsibility of members of the Editorial Board . Only papers judged to be both significant and excellent are accepted for publication.
The method of distribution of the journal is via the Internet tools WWW/ftp. The journal is archived electronically and in printed paper format.
